At the ongoing Cannes Film Festival, legendary Bollywood actress Sridevi was honoured with the TITAN Reginald F Lewis Film Icon Award. This award was their way of celebrating women from film industries all across the globe and also acknowledge the impact of different cultures on the film industry. Early last week, there was buzz that Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor and daughters, Janhvi and Khushi, will be present at the function. But, Subhash Ghai received the award on behalf of her family. Celebrating her versatility, they played a montage of film clips from her career at the event attended by renowned filmmakers from across the world.

Ghai took to Twitter and wrote, "It was honour to receive Award on behalf of legend @SrideviBKapoor at @Festival_Cannes yesterday for her outstanding contribution in indian cinema n shared my experience with impeccable inimitable actor to western audience hosted by Titan Reginald F. Lewis film honours".

Sridevi passed away at the age of 54 on February 25, 2018. Reports said she drowned in a bathtub of her hotel room in Dubai, while she was in the city to attend a family wedding. The actress has since been honoured posthumously at several prominent film events. Recently, Sridevi was awarded the National Film Award in the best actress category for her performance in Mom, which also starred Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna. The Kapoors had issued a statement thanking the government: "We thank the Government of India, the Hon'ble Jury Members for this honour. We also take this opportunity to thank all our friends, her fans who have been sending us congratulatory messages. Thank you". Her daughter Janhvi won many hearts as she attended the ceremony wearing her mother's silk saree.

The past few months have been difficult for Boney and his daughters. The family has been scrutinised and made into a source of gossip after Sridevi's untimely death.
